Summary of Mtabweb Security Features
When you use
mTABWeb, you’ll enjoy the piece of mind that only our security infrastructure
can provide.
We recognize the
importance of the security of your data and have put into place controls to
ensure your confidential and proprietary information will only be able to be
accessed by individuals who are explicitly authorized to view that information.
Security Measures
Among other
security measures, mTABWeb provides:
-
Experienced, professional engineers
dedicated to data and systems protection
-
Continuous deployment of proven and
up-to-date security technologies, including proprietary solutions
developed by PAI.
-
Total commitment to a secure, stable
and private, co-located system managed by PAI
Information Access Control
To provide both centralized administration and
management, the mTABWeb Data Server allows an administrator to establish access
control via groups that govern access to studies made available through
mTABWeb. After a user is authenticated, the mTABWeb Server can limit access to
only those resources that have been made available to that user group.
User Access Control
Secure Socket Layer, or “encrypted” web traffic
transmission is automatically deployed throughout the system.This includes encrypted username/passwords
during authentication and all data transfers between the server and the
client. There are no administrative
consequences to this additional security level.
mTAB Databases
As served on mTABWeb, the databases are not directly accessible as a file or files by the
user and therefore cannot be downloaded and examined by the user.
Perimeter Defense
The network perimeter is protected by firewalls and monitored by intrusion
detection systems. In addition PAI continuously monitors and analyzes security
logs to proactively identify security threats.
Data Security
Precautions have been taken to minimize physical access to the data associated with
mTABWeb. Access to data is controlled at the operating system level.
Internal Systems Security
Inside the perimeter firewalls, systems are safeguarded by port redirection, Network
Address Translation (NAT), non-routable IP address schemes and more. The
specific details of these features are proprietary.
Operating System Security
PAI enforces tight operating system-level security by using a minimal number of access
points to all production servers. We protect all operating system accounts with
strong passwords. All servers are maintained at the vendor’s recommended patch
levels and recommendations for security. The servers are further secured by
disabling or removing all unnecessary users, protocols, and processes.
Reliability and Backup
All data is backed up on a nightly basis. Disaster recovery plans are in place and tested
on a consistent basis. Daily incident status and audit reports allow our
engineers to proactively respond to any problems that may occur.
